    As I said before in many post.
    change the stream type from ogg to mp3 or aac

    Thank you very much Voisses Tech. Changing to aac solved the problem.

    I now pass the 'airtime-system-check', and have a mountpoint in the Icecast2 interface.

    One question remains however. I was under the impression that Icecast2 didn't support streaming in the .acc format. It seems that it does being that there's a mountpoint for it though.

    Will I need to convert my whole library to aac?

    Thanks,

    Let me say this Linux have many version to  applications,there is development,production,supported,unsupported,alpha,beta,third party,you name it

    Icecast falls in those categories.
    I once read this

    "Icecast does not officially support AAC, but if you send it an AAC or MP3 stream it will usually work. We don't support it officially due to patent concerns. For this reason we pass unsupported streams through without any handling.

    The challenge is to find a good AAC encoder. FAAC works but is rather mediocre. ....."

    I just compile my own ffmpeg and if you pass a "Walking Dead" through it ,without you  contaminate anything.

    Infact I pass an Icecast stream to ffmpeg loop it and guess what I have a beautiful and stable RTMP stream.Save me from that 5$ per day or 50$ per month streamers

    Thank The heavens for OPEN source.

    Without it maybe we would be still getting milk by patent head phone company ,the web hosting company and so many other thieves and lairs (lawyers)

    Winff is great for conversion and encoding
    its bad on 14.04 but works nicely on 12.04 and 15.04

    Actually, go with MP3 streaming. ALL of the major browsers support it via HTML5. No, you won't need to re-compress your assets. The Liquidsoap component of Airtime transcodes on the fly. :)
